DESCRIPTION
SikaBiresin
AP007 is a styrene-free,
very fast setting, polyester-based,
industrial filler paste. It is specifically
formulated for filling, fairiring, and
repair applications and can be used in
high service temperatures applications
up to 400 F (204 C). When exposed to
elevated temperatures, SikaBiresin
AP007 has a tendency to darken,
however it does not gas, bubble, or
cause any finish distortion. SikaBiresin
AP007 bonds readily to itself or other
substrates, such as FRP/SMC, high
temperature epoxy molds, aluminum,
steel, cast iron, and urethane foam
parts. In its mixed, uncured state,
SikaBiresin AP007 has a smooth,
creamy consistency that enables the
user to make quick repairs with minimal
air entrapment.
